Personnel. How you use your personnel is one of the most important parts
of managing a Class III supply point. In other words, how many do you
need for a specific operation? Where should you place them in relation
to the equipment? What tasks should you give them to do? It is
important that you assign specific tasks to your personnel at the Class
III supply point, but you should also try to be flexible. The best way
to use all of your personnel wisely is to let the job determine the
assignment. For example, if you have no issues scheduled for the FSSP,
you can use the workers assigned there to improve the fire walls around
the collapsible tanks. On the other hand, there may be a time when the
supply point, or a section of it, is not busy. You may then use your
workers to improve the camouflage and concealment of the area, improve
drainage ditches and roadways, make sure the safety equipment is
serviceable, and do operator and organizations maintenance on the
equipment in the supply point. Although the number of persons you assign
to a specific task may vary greatly with your mission, it is still
possible to obtain an average number for each operation.
For a single shift, you need eight workers to operate the FSSP
efficiently. Place them at certain strategic points in the operation.
Assign two workers to the receiving manifold. They operate all valves at
the receiving point and make all necessary hose connections. Assign
three workers to the pumps and control valves. Have one worker operate
each pump, and the third worker operate the discharge and receiving
manifold of the collapsible tanks. Assign three workers to the delivery
side of the system. Make them responsible for dispensing petroleum and
